    • Are you referring to the parentheses () as square brackets []?
    • If so, are you then saying you want to get '333' from 'zBlock_Acc(333)'?
    • If so, is the value in the column always formatted as  zBlock_Acc(333) and the only thing that changes is the number in the parentheses?
    • If so, you can use this expression and replace the variable with your Dataverse value: substring(variables('Value'), add(indexOf(variables('Value'),'('), 1), sub(indexOf(variables('Value'), ')'), add(indexOf(variables('Value'),'('), 1)))
     
    The expression basically finds the position of the opening parentheses and closing parentheses, then returns the value between them. Therefore, as long as there is only one set of parentheses, this expression will work no matter what is on each side of it.
